UNITED STATES AM PALMORE, or arson, ARKANSAS.

HAME.

Application filed April 17, 1922. Serial No. 553,536.

To all whom, it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ROAM PALMORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rison, in the county of Cleveland and State of Arkansas, have invented certain new and use ful mprovements-.in Haines, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to haines and has for an object to provide means attachable to a hame of a usual and ordinary construction to receive and resist the wear of the trace which would otherwise be applied to and wear the collar. f

A further object of the invention is to pro vide a metallic wear member which is attached directly to some part of the haine and removable therefrom at will, carrying in turn a leather sheet which extends over a part of the collar to which the hame is applied and carrying a second metallic wear strip against which the trace engages and wears.

lVith these and other objects in view the invention comprises certain novel parts, elements, units, constructions and combinations, as disclosed in the drawing, together with mechanical equivalents thereof, as will be hereinafter more fully described andl claimed.

1n the drawings:

Figure 1 is a view in approximately front elevation of a fragment of a conventional horse collar and hame with the invention applied thereto;

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional .view through the collar and hame, as indicated by line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Like characters of. reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views.

The invention which forms the subject matter of thisA application is adapted to be applied to haines of any usual and ordinary construction, one being indicated at 10, having a bar 11 with perforations 12 into which the hook 13 of the trace 14 engages for connecting the trace to the hame. No particular yform or type of haine is required to accommodate the present invention, which comprises a metallic bar 14 having an arm 15 attached in such manner and at such angle as to make connection with some part of the hame structure, as the bar 11, in which case a nut 16 is applied to the endof the arm to maintain the structure in operative relation with the hame. As will be seen more particularly by examining Figure 2, the edge of this wear bar 14 extendsr above the level or plane of the haine so that the trace 14 bears upon this bar 14 and does not engage against the haine, as is customary in such constructions.

Permanently secured to the bar 14 is a leather sheet 17 such attachment being in any approved manner, as by the rivets 18. rlhe sheet 17 extends along the surface of and partially about the collar 19 and is provided with a metallic wear strip 20 which is secured thereto in any approved manner, as by the rivets 21.

The thickness and position ofthe wear strips 14 and 2O are such that the trace 14 is carried over and along' and upon these wear strips only and does not engage the collar 19 nor the leather sheet 17 and the leather of both of these members is, therefore, protected against wear by the interposition of such metallic wear strips.

From the foregoing description and eX- amination of the drawing, it is believed the installation and operation ofthe device will be clearly understood and further eX- n signature.

ROAM PALMORE.
